Before Going to Bed
以下是每天睡前都要上演的戲碼： 寶寶：媽咪妳不出去嗎？ 媽咪：不出去。 寶寶：真的不出去嗎？媽咪妳真的不出去喲？（大概是回台灣的時候每晚趁他們睡著後跑出去太多了，每次他們醒來都找不到媽咪。：） 媽咪：是的，真的不出去，再問媽咪就走囉！（ok, 這段對話大概會重複１０遍） 妹妹：媽咪陪陪！媽咪陪陪！ 媽咪：媽咪不陪陪，妹妹要像以前一樣自己睡覺！ 妹妹：媽咪陪陪… 媽咪陪陪… ...
Happiness! 值得高興的事!
每天面對亂亂的＂更衣室＂(well, 剛搬進這個房子的時候, 因為主臥房沒有 walk-in closet, 我們把一個小一點的房間改成了我的更衣室) 加＂工作室＂(辭了 Cisco 在家工作後, 為了就近看管孩子, 只好把書房從樓下搬到了這個 “更衣室”)，雖然覺得煩，但也抽不出時間好好整理。今天終於心血來潮，準備把一些心想一定再也穿不下的褲子收起來送人了… 穿上第一件, 嗯, 好像還可以耶! 再試一件吧!…. 咦?! 還是可以… 好! 把最早期上班的褲子拿出來吧! 這可是 “pre-Anders” 的喲!…. 哇! 居然都能穿耶! 太好了, 好像瘦回懷孕前的身材了,...
Daylight Saving Time
I never bother to understand how the daylight saving time works and why it’s better to do it. I am also confused about which time is the “real” time. What I do know is that I basically lose one hour in the spring and “earn” one hour in the fall. So I loved the fall. Every fall when the day of the time changed, I was really happy. In my younger ages when I just came aboard for school, I often spent the hour on the phone with my best friend, Carol, who was in UK that time. Later years, I’ve spent it watching TV’s and movies, sleeping in in the morning, enjoying my quiet time eating desserts at late night or just being happy for a slower start of the day. However, this year, I spent it for my stupidity. Last Saturday...
Mommy Don’t Work 媽咪不要做事
每天寶寶上學之前，我總要利用他吃飯的時間做點工作上的事。但今天寶寶吵著不給我進書房，保姆說話了。 ＂寶寶呀，媽咪要做事呀，做事才能賺錢，才能給寶寶買新玩具呀！＂保姆心想，他最喜歡要有新玩具了，這下總該聽話了吧！誰知道寶寶竟然回答， ＂媽咪不做事，爸爸做事，媽咪不買新玩具給我，爸爸買新玩具給我就好了。＂ ＂那媽咪要做什麼哩？＂媽咪問了… ＂媽咪陪我玩新玩具！＂
Play Dough Time
It was a boring Saturday afternoon. We didn’t go out like how we usually do. Harrison fell asleep in the comfy couch; Arden was still napping. Mommy is tired and didn’t want to do much but Anders was full of energy…. Sigh, what should I do??? Ah, I’ll let Anders play play dough. That’s one of Anders’ favorite weekend activity. He usually only cut the play dough into pieces and made “pasta” out of them. I was trying to get him play something more creative so I asked him to make a car. He couldn’t start it so I showed him how by making mine. I was surprised by the result. So I asked him to make another caterpillar. Look, weren’t they cute?! This was the first time that Anders made something from...
Arden Faye’s Recent Development – Still 18 Months Old

She’s also attached to Daddy more. Every time if she saw Daddy, she would run towards him and saying “抱抱” (hold me, hold me). This little piggy loves to dance. She started moving her body as soon as she heard musics. We were thinking if...
